Question

The graph below shows how much money you have in savings each week. Use

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since starting point of the line is (0, 50),

    Therefore, I started with the saving of $50.

b). Since endpoint of the segment is (5, 175),

    Money with me after 5 weeks will be $175.

c). Let the equation of the line given in the graph is,

    y - y' = m(x - x')

    Where (x', y') is a point lying on the graph.

    And 'm' is the slope of the line.

    Slope of the line = $\frac{175-50}{5-0}$

                             m = $\frac{125}{5}$

                             m = 25

     Since, the line passes through (0, 50),

     y - 50 = 25(x - 0)

     y = 25x + 50

     y = 25x + 50

     For x = 6,

     y = 25×6 + 50 = 200

     For x = 7,

     y = 25×7 + 50 = 225

     For x = 8,

     y = 25×8 + 50 =250

d). For x = 10 weeks,

    y = 25×10 + 50 = $300

e). For x = 15 weeks

     y = 25×15 + 50 = $425

f). For x = 50 weeks,

     y = 25×50 + 50 = $1300

g). Equation of the line is,

     y = 25x + 50
